will cutie make England forget the defeat

Germany will, if he is wise, have large
quantities Of smelling salts g. hand in the
dlspensary Of the palace, because whist
will be done by Victoria, Princess Lmpe-
rial OF Germany, Princess Royal Of Prus-
sic, Princess Royal OF Great British and
Ireland, and Duchess Of Ssxony when she
hesrs the news no ordinary p.ebeian
could with arY certainty predict,
The story combines the thrilling oElgi-
nality OF ore OF Rsymond's novels with
the rich and fruitv favor OF the American
chestnut. Il is briefly IS follows:
la the year 1910 Queen Victoria, then s
blcshlug maiden Of rwenty-one, went over
to Germany and fcuBd German prince,
in medium sized principally, hiding De.
hind his title, which was 'Ff2ncis Albert
Augustus Charles Emmanuel, Duke Of
SaXOny, Prince Of S,xe Coburg and
6Otha." He Was nice looking and inst
her age. She proposed to hin, vide heI
memoirs, and being plump and pleasing
person, with q nice crown and large nun
oers Of title deeds il her valise, he &C.
copied her. She called him Albert Ed
ward for snort, hsd him ncturshzej, and
married him. After that he was the
Prince ConsoTt, had 6 high chsir near the
throne during the Queens office hours,
and was generally REGARDED es mild
gentleman who minded his own business
TOOK HIS MEALS REGULARLY,
and could recige his title whenever
called T6EGn hEiDn nc

Prince Consorts before or since his time.
Now it happened that before Victoria
swoOped down upon him in ais retreat,
Francis Albert and the rest had looked
with favor upon young lady of the
court, the Countess Reiss. The Countess
Reiss WAS very beautiful girl belonging
to the Fieaswig- Holstein- Lsberwurst-
PUmpeTnechel family-0r something like
thst-sud IN purity Of blood, both before
and after taking her title, and in length Of
name and genealogical epithets, was
one of the very highest ladies IN
all Germany. With her, the hus-
band = 10 be of Englsnd's Queen
had already contracted o marriage
mCrganstic or Mormon-attic or some
other kind invented to prevent his royal
job lois and other gentlemen OF rank
from brskng the seventh commandment.
He was very much IN love with Countess
Reiss, It is claimed. He did not enjoy
having his father fall in love on mis- own
account with QaeeG FiCtori&, bus pre-
feTred to drink his msrkagrafar aud che "
his pretzels with the Countess R3iss in
Germany, Indifferent to the honors of BE-
ing second violin in mighty Eugland's
royal orchestra. Fate was ruthless, how
ever, and he married the Queen; but the
soft, sweet, hullabaloo OF The nuptiai re-
j0iCings had minor strain running
through them, carrying the bridegroom's
thoughts to the Countess Reiss, bathed in
tears over the loss Of her lover and
THE WRECK OF HER LIFE.
